Chocolate Chewies

Inspired by a popular recipe from Gottlieb’s, a beloved
bakery in Savannah, Ga., our version of Chocolate
Chewies embodies everything that’s great about a chewy
chocolate chip cookie. A generous dose of cocoa powder
combined with grated bittersweet chocolate equaled
deep chocolate flavor.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven
to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, flour, and salt together in
bowl of electric mixer. With electric mixer on medium
speed, add egg whites to sugar mixture, 1 at a time. Add
vanilla and beat for 3 minutes on high speed, scraping
down sides as needed. Stir in pecans and chocolate.
